Is a DayZ private server any good?

[StevieP]

I'm quite liking to look of DayZ but one of the main reasons is so I can host my own server rather than join a public one - my question is, is there enough to do/kill without other human players within the game?

I'm a huge fan of 7 Days to Die but am not keen on the PvP element and prefer to keep it to a private server where me and a few mate can play without the fear of getting battered by a 12 y/o!

I think so, yes.
I have my own for Scum as I'm not interested in pvp. There are only 5 of us playing but being able to jump on whenever we want is useful.
I use PingPerfect, £10 a month every 3 months.

If they allowed dedicated servers, we wouldn't have that flexibility. You do need to turn it off and update now and again whenever there is a patch but I've found it pretty quick and easy to do.
